A little dis, a little dat . . .

Okay, now that I've thought of an ending for my little story, "Inside," I guess I need to finish it. Which means I need to get busy. To be honest I'm writing this because I'm dawdling.

Right now, even as I type, my silly old dog is trying to bury a Milk Bone in the carpet.

I used to think that was funny--now I just think it's sad. Looking at him I see myself in a few short years.

So, I now have a spec script and this story to work on. Plus any new tunes that come to mind--and I've had some ideas in that area, too. I'm wondering if I'm becoming manic. If so that would be a first for me. A co-worker left a message on my vox--part of what she said was, "Boy, on your outgoing message you sound like you're dead!" Heh. It's a really old recording, too--it would probably sound a lot worse if I redid it now. I wonder if manic for me would be considered normal for most people . . .
 
Okay, Atari has finally worn himself out and is now lying on the floor next to me, relaxing. I'm glad--listening to that furious activity in the next room was making me tired.
 
Sorry. I'm rambling, sort of free-associating, in a way. I'm just tired. Excited about this story thing, really, but tired, too.
 
I'm also thinking about doing a screenplay based on this story. Now that way madness lies--a song, then a story, then a screenplay. Then comes the graphic novel. Then the one-act play. Then the sitcom . . . But I'm not obsessed or anything, no . . . this wonderful ending I thought of would be really hard to do right in a film, by the way. Bummer. It'll work great in prose, though, so no worries . . .
 
I do hope that you've click one of the above links to hear this tune, "Inside." You can click here to listen to it--it's the first song on the list. I'm very proud of it. Of course you can also listen to the other songs you'll find there, too. Let me know what you think. I need input, people!
